A painting is the ambrosia for the mind.The act of
painting is a 360 degree exercise for me which allows
meditative time, a structured discipline and immense
personal gratification.
I delight in the viewer's interpretation, for I do
not myself weave any message in my works.
Be it insects, galaxies, pop icons or ancient Indian
murals, they all have a place on my canvas.
The elements I choose take a life of their own from
one painting to the next because I leave them unfettered
of any intellectual shackles. A night bird sits perched
under the dark sky while a shower hangs precariously
behind a curtain reminiscent of a Pichwai above a lotus
pond
